Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill.—On the assembling of the Committee, a conversation took place as to whether the clauses of the Bill, or the resolutionsAould be first considered. It was decided, after the room had been cleared, that the clauses should have the precedence, commencing with those which were unopposed, and postponing the opposed ones. On an understanding, however, between Mr. ANDREWS for the Bill, and Mr. Joy aga'nst it, it was agreed that the Bill should be gone regularly through, battling the opposed, amended, or new clauses as they arose. On the clause giving powers to the Company to enter upon a s e ,eo ff nr seoectavwt and o idri f ho w sfcto i cao l uni foot of enf rg w sl a o t win u l de l a d suo b isnnu e staeh t l o rect el c lad o i un i lands on the lines for the purposes of the C om p any, M r. J oY proposed p e i the C a n o n a l p m a e o n y d m t o e n p t ur t o h h e b fo e r fo o r o e m t p h e e n p sa as ti s o in n g t o of l t a h n e do tl n l in the Bill. This amendment was negatived by the Committee, without a division. Mr. JOY then proposed an amendment of the clause for in tersecting small parcels of land, to protect from the entry of the Company, lands to the amount of one acre instead of half an acre, as proposed by the clause. Half an acre being the usual quantity protected, the Corn ' mittee negatived the amendment. On the clause relative to compensation in case of obstruc tion or injury to the navigation, running parallel with the rail way, an amendment was proposed by Mr. Joy to put in for the words "any accident in the execution of this railway," the words "any accident caused by the said Railway Company." Ultimately it was agreed that the words "any accident caused by the completion or operation of this railway" should be introduced. On the clause relative to penalties for impediments, &c., on the line of railway, viz., 101 per hour for the first 14S hours, and 201. per hour afterwards, Mr. Joy proposed an amendment that the Railway Company shall be liable in the same way and amount, to the Canal Company, for obstruction or damage, arising from the operation of the railroad to the passage and traffic on the canal. The amendment was negatived ; consequently the Canal Company will have to rely, in the case of damage by the Railway Company, upon the verdict of a jury in the usual way. A discussion arose beteen Mr. Andrews and Mr. Joy, as to the right of Counsel to speech ; answer and reply upon the clauses. The room was cleared, after which the decision of the Committee was pronounced by the Chairman that Counsel had such right. A clause was then proposed by Mr. JOT, to compel the Railway Company to pay the expense of an archway over a cut proposed to be made by the Canal Company, as a line of communication between their canal and another. Mr. ANDREWS objected to this upon principle, contending that the expense ought to fall upon the Canal Company, it being solely for their benefit, and carried through their own land. Mr. JOY replied that, although the proposed cut might never be made at all, yet it had been thought of long before the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill was projected; and he therefore must press the clause. The CHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Miller, the engineer of the Railroad Company should be examined as to the locality of such cut, and the apparent objects of it. Mr. Miller was ac cordingly called. Witness stated the localities, &c , and that all the existing works of the canal were crossed at such great elevations by archways that no obstruction of them could possibly take place. After the Secretary to the Canal Company had stated to the Committee the localities and the object of the cut intended by the canal, and after a conversation between Mr. Andrews and Mr. Joy, Mr. Miller stated, in answer to a question from an Hon. Member, that last session such a clause for a cut had passed, after considerable opposition. The room was here cleared, after which the CHAIRMAN an. nounced the decision of the Committee, that such clause should be introduced. Mr. Jot' then proposed a clause that, in addition to the screen clause, a clause should be introduced, making the Railway Company liable for damage from accident by horses taking fright, from noise, &c, near the line of Railroad, occa sioned by any of its operations. The room was cleared, and, on our re-admission, the CHAIR. MAN announced the decision of the Committee, that the clause was rejected. On the clause as to the right, and regulation, and retention of footpaths, the word "Justices" was proposed to bestruck out. The amendment was agreed to. On the clause relative to the purchase of lands, an amend ment was proposed that the words " from parties who may be willinz to sell the same" be introduced. The amendment was agreed to ; as were several others of no importance, but merely restricting the Company upon points of purchase, compensation, &c. Various unopposed clauses were passed, up to page 63 in the Bill. The Committee adjourned, at four o'clock, until eleven o'clock on Monday next. COMMITTEE ON BILL (WEST SCOTLAND LIST.) Lord WILLIAM BENTINCIC in the Chair. Edinburgh and Glasgow Railw.ty Bill.—This Committee assembled at eleven o'clock, and were occupied until nearly one in the reading and passing of unopposed clauses. The schedule was next gone into, which, after one or two trifling alterations, was agreed to. The opposed clauses followed, commencing with the Jury Clause, page 42 in the Bill ; an amendment was proposed by Mr. Joy, on the part of the opponents to the Bill. Upon this the room was cleared, and amendment negatived. The par ties for the Bill had proposed an amendment, as to time of notice of damage to be assessed by the Jury. This amend ment was decided to stand. A few other trifling amendments followed, chiefly as to the more accurate wording of clauses. c o o to give to t f o ul t fi h t e m Sell:tcroifff, thein o Upon the clause, page 62, relative to the fulfil men t o f t h e subscription contrac t, an amendm ent was proposed by Mr. contract, and the peculiareffce lso to ju tofwhicril w idtiunld b as e to appoint a tribunal of review before the Lord Ordinary, in the Courts in Edinburgh. The amendmentNoiid fo was opposed the Bill, as by Austin,r. an u bh w e a h r o d appeared pearedto-day with Mr. v juris diction, and Una likely to be endless in pra , : ti co. Mr. JOY replied, in support of the clause ; and excited con siderablo merriment by the hurnourous manner in which he taunted his Lelroed Friend, Mr. Austin, with having, upon some other Bill last year, argued strongly and loudly in favour of an amendment similar to the one which he now found it convenient to oppose. The amendment was negatived. Upon the clause relating to tolls, page 98, M r. JOY pro posed an amendment of reduction, on the ground that whilst thaeag Com e, the Company held out to the public the temptati on o f c h eap rr amount of tolls and carriage prop ose d was very carriage, exorbitant. The dif f erence was as one penny to half a f art hi ng . Mr. AusTisi defended the clause, and contend e d t h at i t was p precisely the same, in words and amount, as that i n t ro d uce d into the Ayrshire Railway Bill, and other Scotch Bills passed last year. Mr. AUSTIN denied this ; and a lengthened argument en. sued between that gentleman and Mr. Joy, the latter contend ing that the rates of tpli or carriage per mile ou g h t to b e lowered, according to the terms of his amendment, which was to the effect that the Railroad Company should not be allowed to charge above one-third more than they protpsee4 to cbargp by this Bill. The room was then cleared, after which the CII4IAN4N an! nounced the decision o f th e C omm i ttee, t h at t h e c l ause , as originally framed, should stand part of the Bill. The new clauses were then gone into. A clause, relative to cases in which a special jury should Le empannelled, was read and passed, with one verbal altera tion, not affecting the usual tenor of such clauses. Mr. HOPE stated, on behalfof the opponents to the Bill, that, owing to the want of sufficient information, they were willing t agree to certain clauses as they stood in the Bill; but upon a distinct understanding of full reservation of oppo sition, either before or after the report, or before the Bill had passed the Commons, or in any stage of its progress before the Lords. A clause was proposed to be introduced (page 54) by Mr. Joy, binding the Company to be answerable for damage com mitted by the workmen on the rail Way ; thereby meaning any damage to any property, &c. (not the railroad works) in the course of any riots, &c. The room was then cleared, after which the Committee de cided against the introduction or such clause. The resolutions were next gone into, when a long discus sion arose as to the first resolution, relative to the deposit of ten per cent., as required by the Standing Orders to be proved before the Committee on the Bill. The room was cleared, when the Committee announced their decision to report that, in this respect, the Standing Orders had been complied with ; and that the parties were permitted to proceed with their Bill, according to the Resolu tions of the House. The other Resolutions were gone through, without opposi tion, thus finishing the proceedings on the Bill before the Committee in the Commons. Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle Railway Bill--(Cum berland List)—Passed through Committee : no opposition. MILITARY FLOGGING. Our time and the space of our columns have been so much occupied, that we have not until now had an opportunity to comment upon the division in the House of Commons upon Captain Boldero' s mo ti on f or a " C omm i ttee o f Inquiry to ascertain the practi ca bility o f finding substitutes for military flogging." We must say that the majority which appeared against such an inquiry is most disgraceful to the National Assembly, par ticularly so to those who call themselves liberal, or Reform Members, and most disgraceful to a Ministry who, while out of power, represented military flogging, upon all occa sions, as one of the most disgraceful, iniquitous, and in famous practices existing in the world—not only at va riance with every principle of religion and humanity, but subversive of morality and abhorrent to the feelings of Englishmen, and a disgrace to the nation to countenance. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, one of the supporters of the system, was one thing when Member for Westminster, craving after popular favour, but another now he is as a member of the Whig Cabinet. At the present moment he advocates that which he most vehemently and indignantly ab jured all his life, and the cat-o'-nine-tails with him now be comes as necessary for a soldier as the red coat he wears upon his back. In short, the dastardly and deceitful conduct of the Whigs has placed this important question, or its satisfactory settlement, in a far worse position than when they came into office. We must therefore be excused if we handle them upon the subject not quite so gently as we have formerly been used to do. Military flogging has been abolished in the army of the native troops of the East India Company; an army of about 300,000 men. The experiment has been tried, and it works well. Why has it not , t h en, been extended to the European troops in India, at least the expriment tried ? The answer is, that British soldiers must be slaves, and be treated " lih e brutes." Some of our contemporaries will deny our position, and de clare that in India the abolition of flogging has produced the worst of consequences, and had the most fatal effects. This we deny ; nay, more —we maintain th a t w h en fl ogg i ng was abolished in that army, so great was the disgust which it had produced that they dared not, in many instances, attempt to carry it into effect in the native army. This is the only excuse which can be found for Lord William Bentinck, upon hi s own simple authority, dispensing with it in the native Indian army. It was a foul blot, however, upon the adminis tration of his Lordship when he withheld the boon from the European troops, and kept the lash over their backs. There was manifestly a great imprudence in so doing, totally incom patible with all proper notions of legislation, to draw such a distinction as to the intrinsic merits and value of a black back over a white one. In some of the Indian papers and English journals, refe rence has been made to a number of atrocious murders which have been committed of late years by the native troops upon their officers, as emanating from the abolition of flogging in that army. That is a very wrong and unjust conclusion ; it proceeds from other and very serious causes, which we will hereafter explain. For the present we will merely advert to the fact, and while it grieves us much to acknowledge that such murders have unhappily become frequent, we must again say that it does not proceed from the cause assigned. In another part of the Paper there will be found the details of three such dreadful occurrences, and which took place within 20 days—in the months of October and September last year. So far from the cause of humanity with regard to military punishments having advanced, we consider that it has retro graded. Nay, more—we do not see any desire on the part of the Government to find remedies that might put a stop to it. We consider this as most disgraceful, and it shall not be our fault if their memory is not refreshed again and again -.Ton the subject, until we have compelled them to listen to this most important and just of all the complaints of the British nation. Our readers will not have forgotten the brilliant letters which appeared in our Journal in April, 1836, addressed by Captain W. White to Lord Melbourne, upon the Report o the Select. Committee of the House of Commons to inquire and report upon punishment; in the army, and in which, as we then remarked, he, " in a most masterly and conclusive manner, exposed and converted into mere waste paper the Report of the Military Commission ;" letters to which we " called the attention of Ministers and the Legislature as con taining the most unbiassed and comprehensive, and judicious views which have been taken on the question." Although we give every just meed of praise to Captain White for the extensive and comprehensive views which he takes on the question, there is one point in which we differ. lle says —nay, more, he all but proves —that flogging can be d►ipensed vtith in quarters; but is of opinion that the power ought not to be withdrawn with troops in the field, as it might sometimes be impossible to do without. This is the opinion of all Tories—and most military men are Tories. The Cap tain's reason is that no adequate punishment can be found. Now this we deny, because the very punishments Captain White suggests for quarters we say would be equally, if not more efficient, with some alteration, in the field. This we shall hereafter speak more fully upon; but we cannot con elude without expressing our surprise and regret that the Go vernment, without any remedy of their own to cure the evils, should have disregarded the suggestions of Captain White, " who," as we have already said on a former occasion, " is a practical man. His opinions are formed from extensive ser vice and mature experience. Few men are more competent to give an opinion, and none that we have seen have been so comprehensive, unbiassed, and conclusive." We conclude to-day with the following forcible and impor tant observations contained in one of Captain White's letters to Lord Melbourne, and in the sentiments of which we most heartily concur, and reccmmend to th• serious attention of our readers : " Never did Royal Commission break ground on a finer field than the Military Commission—never were the public more sanguine in their exuectations of a satisfactory result; but, alas I alas I never did a Commission take up a worse posi tion, display less tact, less knowledge of what was before them, less judgment, or draw stronger or more unsatisfactory conclusions, or more at variance with what was expected from them than the Commission issued, of which my Lord Wham cliffe was at the head. The public are not only disappointed in their expectations, but if we are to view the Press as the organ of expressing public feeling, they are positively disgusted with the report, for they con , ider it as a base job. The pub lic not only keenly feel that their decision upon the main point has not been in unison with their long and anxious expecta- tions, but they are indignant at the treachery which appears to have been practied upon them by the advocates of abolition of military flogging, and the insult offered to them by a repe tition of the old, hackneyed, and threadbare excuses for the continuation of the system, unaccompanied by arguments and facts requisite to establish the propriety of making!them."— Morning Advertiser.

FATAL MORTIFICATION.-01) Saturday last, Mr. James Turriff, shoemaker, who had for a long period been precentor of the South Church, accidentally probed his thumb with an awl, immediately under the nail. At first, no serious consequences were dreaded from the wound; but on Monday symptoms of mortification were observed, and so ra pidly did the disease inc rease , t h at i t terminated his existence on Wednesday. —Aberdeen Herald. T H E ROYAL EXC HANGE. —Tuesday the open space in the interior of this national edifice was thronged with antiquarians, metal-dealers, and general-dealers of the Jewish persuasion, it having been previously announced that Mr. Pul ;en, the auctioneer, would sell by auction the building mate rials, &c. Some time before the hour appointed for the sale, t h e curious and speculative were busily engaged in iaspecting the various lots, and at one o'clock the auctioneer mounted a pile of stones near the western entrance, and proceeded to sell the greater part of the broke n remains. The whole of the materials in the quadrangle were sold for 2361. ; the tower was sold for 501. ; the carved figures of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, were knocked down for 801. The other materials were sold in detaikfor smaller sums, THE SHARE-FEVER IN PARIS.—The suppres sion of the gaming -houses at Paris has had the effect of turn ing the attention of the speculators solely to the Joint stock Companies which at prtsent so abound in the French capital.

(YESTERDAY.) (From our Second Edition of last night.) HULL. Andrew Hare, the landlord of the Holder:less New Inn, was examined at great length, but his recollection was so bad as to elicit the remark from an Hon. Member that he ought to go to Italy.—( Laughter. ) Mr. Charles Hammond, Chairman of the District Corn. mittce in Holdcrncss Ward, was next examined. He said he did not recollect giving any voters orders about refresements. Mr. HlLL—Without dwelling on any particular form of words, I will ask—were you not, directly, or indirectly, the means of voters obtaining refreshment at the election? Witness—l should think not : but I should wish to throw myself on the mercy of the Committee whether I am bound to answer that question; for, if I went further, I might criminate myself. The CHAIRMAN informed the witness that he was not bound to answer any question which might invalidate his vote. Witness then went on to state that he could not recollect having given any orders for refreshment. He had been applied to by the landlord of the Crown Inn for payment of a bill, but referred him to the General Committee. In crass-examination, witness said he never authorised Tho mas Bell Oliver, the first witness, to get any liquor either at Hare's or Bowlby's. John Bowiby, the landlord of the Blue Bell, was next exa mined, but to very little purpose, for his memory appeared to be more defective than even that of Hare. The Committee retained the vote. Richard Conkerton was next objected to. James Goddard, who was landlord of the Bowling-green Tavern, at the election, stated that on the morning of the election, breakfast was given at his house to about 30 persons. Mr. Spence was one of the gentlemen who ordered it. After the election witness sent in his bill, amounting to 71. or 81. He sent it to Mr. Gleadon and Mr. Spence also, but they took no notice of it. Witness had brought his books and papers in obedience to the summons, but they were at a house where he stopped. An application was then made to adjourn the case, in order that the books might be produced. The Committee adjourned at three o'clock until ten to morrow morning. MALDON. The Committee retained the vote of Ambler: The next vote objected to was that of a person named Pepper, on the ground that he had been improperly admitted to his freedom. After a lengthened argument the Committee retained the vote. Adjourned about a quarter before four. KINSALE. The Committee retained the vote of Donovan. Arthur Buttle was next objected to, on the ground of being engaged in the collection of the revenue, being the guard of a ma►l. After the examination of one witness, the Committee adjourned at two o'clock until to-morrow. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 4. The LOkD CHANCELLOR took his teat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. The First Fruits and Tenths Bill was read a third time and passed. _ - Several other Bills were forwarded a stage. Mr. GREEN and others brought up the Penryn Borough Improvement Bill, and the London and Croydon Railway Company Bill. ABOLITION OF NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP. The Marquis of SLIGO presented petitions from the Baptist Chapel of Swansea, from Stoney Stratford, Stonehill Chapel, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Sidmouth, Belfast, Down patrick, Ashby-under-Lyne, Denby, Winstanley, the Methodists of Arbroath, the Methodists of Highhouse, in the county of Durham, the United Congregation of Den ny, the Baptists of Mirfield, in Yorkshire, the New Connec tion of Airfield, and several other places, praying for the immediate abolition of negro apprenticeship. Lord GLENE L G presented a petition from the Baptists of Brook-street Chapel in the county of Durham to the same effect. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of Morley, the Inhabitants of Bolton le-Moor, the Protestant Dissenters of Lee Chapel, and the Methodists meeting at Hosham Moor, Lancashire, to the same effect. Lord BRO WNLO NV presented a petition from Alford, in the county of Lincoln, praying for a reduced rate of postage. Lord G LENELG presented a petition for the bettor observance of the Lord's-day, but we did not hear from whence. —Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 4. The gallery was opened at twenty minutes past seven o'clock, the intermediate time from the Speaker taking the chair being occupied with two ballots for Wicklow county and Leicester. On the former a debate took place respecting challenges ; but as strangers were excluded we can state no thing that occurred in it. Several petitions for and against various private Bills were presented. The Blackheath Small Debts Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. FRENCH FISHERMEN. Mr. EDWARD RICE then rose to move for " All me morials and other documents which have been received by her Majesty's Government since the Ist of January, 1832, com plaining of the aggressions of French fishermen on our coasts." The French boats were better built, manned with eighteen or twenty hands, and did considerable damage when they drove among our boats in shore, breaking through their nets, taking the fish when they pleased, and beating the men when they resisted. Their conduct had now become an intolerable nui sance. L3toly several English boats went into Rye Bay to fish for mackerel, when the French boats came and drove them from their fishing-ground. The English boats were only allowed from four to six or seven, so that they had no chance of resisting with success. They had been told that the matter would be settled by negociation with the French Government, but nothing had yet been accomplished. COUNTY of WICKLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE, Here the Members of this Committee were called for ward and sworn, viz.: —Hurt, Peter Kirk, George Evans, David Morris, Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, Charles Wood, Sir George Anson, Christopher Blackett, George Bryan, Daniel W. Harvey, John Irving. Mr. E. RICE resumed. There was a necessity for ar ranging some imm e di a t e p rotect i on b y the appointment of an Officer on the coast, with powers to interfere on their behalf on the instant. As things stood they were not only a check on the national industry, but constituted a positive national disgrace. Captain PECHELL said that, although his Honourable Friend had, as it were, been poaching on the fishing ground that he had claimed . for his ow n P ar li amentary pr i vilege and occupation—(Laughter) —he should cordially second the motion, and co-operate to the utmost in its object ; for it was melancholy to see the difference between the encouragement given to our fi s h ermen an d t h ose of France by their respective Governments. BOROUGH OF LEICESTER ELECTION COMMITTEE. The following Members were here called in and sworn : Wm. Pinney, Hon. G. H. Cavendish, T. Gibson, Lord Sey mour, Hon. J. E. Elliott, Viscount Ebrington, Viscount Melgund, Visco un t Alf or d , J . A. Smith, F. J. Cloward, Lord Leveson. Captain PECHELL resumed. In 1829 there were nine affidavits laid before the Treasure of the aggression committed on the Dover boats ; but the Duke of Wellington said be could find or suggest no means to remedy the grievance, but that the fishermen should go to sea in such numbers as to pro tect themselves. The danger was believed to be so great last season, that the Brighton fishermen gave up their harvest of herrings. All along the Suffolk and Sussex coasts the fisher men were (to use their own phrase) " as thick as bees, and as poor as rats," and prayed especially for a couple of ships of war off Hastings and Brighton. Mr. LIDDELL and Sir A. DALRYMPLE concurred in the necessity of affording the protection demanded. Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government was fully sensible of the bearing of this question on the national industry ; but he was well aware that the settlement of this question was attended with greater difficulty than Hon. G ent l emen m i ght at first think. Some months ago the French Government had, on the application of the English Government, established a Commission at Longueville on the subject of the oyster ques tion, but it had nut yot brought its labours to a conclusion. The cause of quarrel was, some years ago, a boundary line was fixed very unfavourable t o th e British fisherm en , w h o thereupon had been tempted to trespass. The French fisher men had, on their part, been tempted to retaliate. However, judging from the friendly feeling prevailin between the two Governments, he hoped that some und ers t an di ng would shortly be arrived at which would prevent these unpleasant collisions. With respect to the ships of war, he hoped that Hon. Mem bers would see that where there were any other means which might be adopted it would be more consistent to resort to them in the first instance, and not resort to a mode which might perhaps embroil the parties still more, and seriously in terfere with the happy relations which now existed between the two countries. Mr. BELL offered his acknowledgments to the Honour able Member for Dover for having brought this important question under the consideration of the House. He had pre sented numerous memorials and some statements of tell au thenticated cases of aggression committed by Frenali fisher men on the fishermen of the county of Northumberland. In these attacks the aggressors had many times destroyed pro. poly to the value of 201. or 30/. ; and only in August last, a fisherman named William Oliver was attacked in his boat by three Frenchmen, who very nearly strangled hint ; and this gross outrage, he could as., , ure the House, was perpetrated merely because Olive r h a d requested the French fishmermen to keep clear of his nets. It was well known that the fishing's boats of Northumberland carried only two or three men and a boy, whereas the French boats were inanned with six, eight, and ten men each, -0 th at any attempt sit resistance would be entirely unavailing. These attacks were generally ratt:4 in the months of August and September, at •4 1 , - .o Time of the herring-fishing, and as the RiEht qz,nourallo Gentleman the President of the Board (4 'Flag! had so far listened to his appeals in re:,:p;.,ci to th . e fishermen of Northumberland, 5 4 to themstelaiepnrothe would eetionof n an armed o, the present occasion ve!,',sel during th e next herring so, trouble the House farther tan Iv expressing a hope that Use nowpendino• ;night be brought to §4 . c.gssco,i tncevgni°lat a tl i g.: e 1:-notion Nviul thgn i t ;n4nigiqnsly agrecci tQa SEIZURE OF SLAVE VESSELS. Captain PECHELL then moved for a return of slave ves sels brought before the several Courts of mixed Commissions for adjudication between Ist Jahuary, 18;8, and Ist January, 1838, stating the names of the seizors, and the decretal part of the sentence, whether forfeiture, or restitution, with or without costs. The Hon. Member was proceeding to state the groun'h of his motion when it was observed that " forty Members were not present," only twenty-eiiht being visible. Strangeri Here ordered to withd raw , an the tiouts adjourned at Half' past Eight o'Clock. ASYLVM HARBoliti TO THE EDITOR OF nu SUN. Stn,—Adverting to the number of ahtpwrecks that bete occurred every winter in St. George's Channel, particularly on the Irish coast southward of Dublin Bay, and the consequent lo;s of lives and property, it evidently proves the want of an Asylum Harbour for the trade of the Channel, there being no place of refuge in storms, or pith adverse winds, on the east side, from the Land's end to the Clyde, except Milford and Holyhead Harbours, which are one hundred milee distant from each other. Holyhead being central in dot Channel, is tb point steered for by the inward and coatward-bound ships to and from most parts, having every local advantage to approach it ; but from the limited space, and depth of water within the Pier, those not acquainted keep from it in stormy weather. The recent disasters on the Irish Banks, added to the distres sing events of the preceding winters, are lamentable proofs of the urgent necessity of a place of shelter being hoilt for the security of the mercantile marine of this Channel, as well as for other objects of national importance. In the winter of 1836, a ship from Liverpool to the West Indies having been out a good distance southward of the Head, asas driven back, and passed it for Liverpool, but on com i ng out a second time, was lost on West Hoyle, with a valuable cargo. Th e ship John Stamp, from Bombay to Liverpool, lately wrecked on the Irish Coast, made her number on passing the Head 13th February, and had got well to the eastward, that Holyhead Harbour was under her lee ; but for the reasons before stated, the commanders of ships are afraid of running for it in a gale of wind. Last month two vessels having been in the greatest danger on the Irish Coast, got into Holyhead Harbour ; one bound to Africa, the other an American ship called the fienrg Leeds, of above 800 tons burden. The number of ships and vessels that took refuge there during the storms of January and February last, was 185 sail. March, 1 t 43 8. CAMBRIAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT TER S A LL' S.--.YESTERD4 r.
